Targeted fault-finding on electric industrial vehicles

Get to the root of issues with electric machines quickly with our ‘Targeted fault-finding for electric industrial vehicles’ course. It’s designed to benefit engineers who are responsible for the maintenance and repair of electric machines, people who want to gain insight into performing diagnostics using electrical diagrams, and engineers looking to expand their skill sets to include maintenance and repair of electric machines. You should already have some prior knowledge about electricity and electric machines, including a basic understanding of how batteries and electric motors work. Over 2 days, you’ll learn how to read electrical diagrams belonging to electric industrial vehicles. You’ll find out how to locate, recognise and check power components. And you’ll learn how to perform diagnostics using an electrical diagram and a multimeter.

TARGET GROUP

  • Engineers who perform maintenance and repairs on electric pallet trucks, lift trucks and aerial work platforms.
  • Engineers who want to gain an insight into performing diagnostics by means of electrical diagrams.
  • Engineers who want to retrain into becoming a repairer of electric machines.

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

Some prior knowledge of electricity and electric machines (notes of batteries, electric motors ...) is required.

GOAL

  • To gain an insight into electrical diagrams of electric pallet trucks, lift trucks and aerial work platforms.
  • To be able to locate, recognise and check power components.
  • To perform a diagnosis of an error by means of the electrical diagram and a multimeter.

CONTENT

Theory:

  • Electronic components and connections (diode, capacitor, thyristor ...)
  • Structure of the electric lift truck
  • Leakage currents and short circuits
  • Electrical diagrams
    • Power supply shared components
    • Drive section
    • Lift section
    • Steering section
    • Options

Practice:

  • Measuring electronic components by means of the handy-man and multimeter
  • Using didactic panels to check the functioning of components
  • Using an electrical diagram and multimeter to locate faults:
    • Line contactor doesn't rise
    • Drive controller doesn't work
    • No hydraulic movements
    • Short circuit

DURATION

The training takes 2 days and consists of both theory and practice.

TO BRING

  • Working clothes
  • Safety shoes
  • Multimeter
  • Handy-man (optional)

CERTIFICATE

A certificate is issued once the training has been completed.
